(Aurevia Bratio Ilf/Barella)

Now, I feel very excited.

Why? It's because I was invited by Walson to his room, he said we are going to be doing something that is both secretive and extraordinary.

When I arrived into his room, I noticed that Walson's room is very tidy, everything is placed in order, not like there's many things in it to begin with, so being tidy is not that hard.

I also saw one of the objects created by Walson, he said they are called [Redstone Lamp] and are operated by a unique system invented by Walson, these lamps emit a light that is neither too bright nor too dim, giving a very comfortable feeling.

There's a wooden table with a cushioned wooden chair, and a bed with a white sheet that looks very soft.

Walson room also carries his scent, which gives the room a rather faint fragrance that I like to smell.

And much to my embarrassment, just the thought that Walson sleeps here every night makes it hard for me to calm down.

Although Walson's appearance is not overly handsome, and he is slightly shorter than me, withbrown hair that is not particularly remarkable. However, his intelligent charm and his youthful face make him truly adorable.

Walson is an adorable boy who is actually very reliable, at least compared to many older people whom I had known, my former fiancee included.

I'm in Walson's room, hehehehehehe.

Such a perverted thought is floating around my head while lying on Walson's bed, enjoying the softness of the mattress while capturing the traces he left behind in this room.

"Aure, this is custom-made for you... What are you doing? Get off my bed." Just when I was lost in my own world, Walson came back while holding something in his arm.

"Your bed is so soft and comfortable, it's so much better than the beds that we got in the Academy dormitory, they can't even begin to compare." Of course, I already prepared an excuse should he see me doing this kind of act. Thanks to the schemes that I often did in my past, I'm quite confident in both my acting skill and lying skill.

...It's actually quite easy to cover up my inner shyness.

"Get up quickly, you've wrinkled the blanket."

"What's the big deal..."

"When you come to stay here later, you'll have your own bed."

"..." This idiot, the bed is not the point.

But that's also what makes him adorable.

I sat up and looked at the clothes Walson held in his hands.

Walson immediately placed the clothes on the nearby table and picked up one of them to show me.

The clothing in his hand is a solid-colored blue dress with a subtle purple sheen, similar to the clothes worn by Grace and Melon that I often saw.

It seems that Walson did something to it beforehand. These normal looking clothes must have become rather powerful equipment.

I gave up thinking about the reasons why normal clothing is able to emit such a powerful feeling and simply concluded that it's all Walson doing.

In addition to this dress, there is a pair of high-quality-looking boots and a gray cloak .

There's also a short knife in a sheath and a small handheld crossbow.

"Well, let's begin the operation," Walson said, and he pulled out dozens of bottles of white liquid from somewhere.

Those are [Milk Potions]... Wait, he can't be asking me to...

"It seems you also understand what I'm trying to do. But before that, take out [Apollo]for a second, and let's do a test," Walson said, looking at my shocked face and continuing to speak.

I obediently took out [Apollo] from my waist pouch and drank the Milk Potion.

"Based on what you've said, [Elvenisation] is a skill that increases the synchronization rate between oneself and the weapon. So, what would happen if you use [Elvenisation] on an already [Elvenized] equipment?"

What would happen?

I've never thought about it before. No, generally, no elf would contemplate such an impossible question, right!?

Even so, as long as it's Walson who says it, I'll try it.

I picked up [Apollo] and continued listening to Walson's explanation.

"I assume the equipment will become stronger, right? Last time when you [Elvenized] it, [Apollo]'s power increased significantly."

"OOOOO, OOOOOO, OOOOO, OOOOO, OOOOOOOOO..." I began the incantation for [Elvenisation] before Walson finished speaking.

[Apollo]'s appearance started to be enveloped in a golden light.

"OOOOOO, OOOOO─Form a contract with me, [Elvenisation]!" With the concluding phrase of the incantation, the golden light was absorbed into [Apollo].

When the light faded, there were additional golden patterns on parts of [Apollo]'s appearance.

...Just by holding it, I could feel that the enhancement effect [Apollo] granted me had become much stronger.

"Alright, now try a few more times to see if you can use [Elvenisation] without any restrictions," Walson said.

Hmm... In the legends of elves, there was once an artifact that had undergone [Elvenisation] repeatedly for three generations before being lost.

I don't know where that artifact is now.

...In the end, I was able to perform [Elvenisation] successfully nine times in a row on the bow.

When the ninth time was complete, I heard a voice resonating in my mind.

[Hidden Achievement Unlocked: "Elf - Extension of Body and Mind"; Attribute gains bonus adjustment]

[Learned Skill: "Heartstring Call"]

After that, nothing happened when I continued [Elvenisation] on [Apollo]. It seems that ten times is the limit, including the previous time i did it.

At the moment of completion, I felt an incredibly strong connection between me and [Apollo], as if it were a part of my own body rather than a mere weapon.

I decided to try using the newly acquired skill, "Heartstring Call."

[Apollo], which I had placed far away on a chair, vanished into a point of light. Simultaneously, a vortex of white light appeared in my hand, reconstructing [Apollo] back into existence.

This is amazing, and all of this is possible all thanks to Walson...

"...Well then, let's use [Elvenisation] to the remaining items ten times as well."

"Eh... What? Again? I don't think I can drink it anymore!" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say something inappropriate. Please forgive me.

"How come!? When you drink alcohol, there's no problem at all, you are completely ignoring the laws of physics! Just treat the milk as alcohol and drink it, quickly!"

"Yes..."

[Learned Skill: "Heartgarb Call"]

[Hidden Condition Unlocked: "Dancer of the Cloak"]

[Learned Skill: "Heartcloak Call"]

[Hidden Condition Unlocked: "Dancer of the Boots"]

[Learned Skill: "Heartcrossbow Call"]

I now feel like a person with many extra limbs, a very strange sensation.

My stomach is churning, and for a while, I don't think i can drink his thick milk anymore, hm~

"Ugh..."

"What's wrong? Come on, drinking more milk will make you grow strong and sturdy."

...Occasionally, just occasionally, I feel like stripping this wooden-headed person naked, tying him up, and putting him away on a drifting ship...

...

...

But then, he would be cold. Maybe it's better to just tie him up and keep him close to me.
